Like the HAV truce, I'm proposing a heavy truce. I once enjoyed facing other heavies, but as a sign of protest, let's not shoot each other.

Give a red dot heavy a bro fist, and continue on your way.

Of course, if a heavy fires on you, don't just stand there and take it lol

Signed the Truce:

Polish Hammer

100 proof

Hollow M Ling

Lance 2ballzStrong

i regret to say that i am not going heavy. As much as i loved the class and chasing ppl down, shooting them in the back as they run in fear and walking over who stay i want to win at the game. Not going assult cuz its OP but not ethire of the classes. I wish you luck my heavy bretheren! KILL ALL OF THEM!!! <3 <3

Sign to protest the HMG over nerf.

You can't take away range, and take away dmg the same time and call that balance.

Every build has seen a heavy nerf... don't know when this "up" might come, if it ever

*Two weeks later*

CCP guy 1: Everyone on the forums keeps saying HMGs suck now
CCP guy 2: Do you think it was the range or damage nerf?
CCP guy 1: I don't know
CCP guy 2: What do you mean you "don't know"?
CCP guy 1: Well, we nerfed both at the same time... so we didn't get to see what would happen if we only nerfed one
CCP guy 2: So how do we fix this then?
CCP guy 3: increase ROF?
*gets backhanded*
CCP guy 4: Ehh, they're just heavies, who cares?

OP

Would love to see these 5-6 heavies a game you speak of. Probably 2-3... if you're lucky, and probably terrible heavies too. Usually you see heavies in Type 2 suit also...so lol.

yea, trying to. I know i'm missing a couple atm.

Reduced range, and reduced damage on HMG

Seems straight forward to me.

snip

I can tell you have never played as a heavy in a competitive match.

Proto Assault >>>>> Proto heavy

^ this topic was discussed for a loooong time. In a perfect world with perfect balance that should not be the case in CQC, but it was.

So now they nerfed the dmg, so that balance, has not changed.

You argument about cost is flawed...please. If that logic was correct, then the Proto Heavy suit is suppose to cost more than 250k, since it got 75hp more.

So they reduced the price to lower the damage? That's what you're saying? Then why hasn't the price of suits gone up.

CCP don't work with numbers, they work with QQ threads on the forums. Assault players cried about it for months, so heavies decided to cry about a buff for months. Seems the Assault criers won this battle.

[a shield tanked assault player shooting at you with 3+ dmg mods.

lol... good one. Optimal range? You probably talking about the Assault HMG... yeeeaaah nobody uses that for a reason, it sucks.

If you knew anything, lol, then you would know at range the HMG tickles...BULLET SPREAD.

Didn't know that? well you learn something new everyday

Your numbers is not taking into consideration bullet spread, so it's meaningless.

Well considering CCP didn't say if it was max range or optimal range, you're making stuff up.

I stopped reading when you said "distractions".

Sorry, but any class that is classified as a "distraction" is a joke.

WP = ISK. No kills, no WP... distracting enemies has no WP.

I'm entertaining this comment cuz it's one of the funniest things I've read so far.

Lol...compares an MMO on PC to a FPS on console, and calls it balance. GG

You can't compare 2 games, 2 different genres at that, and justify the balancing. The mere fact that you call a class a distraction shows how much of a joke you think the class is.

You didn't answer me about how are we suppose to get WP? We get nothing for suppression, loldistracting.

May as well put heavies out there wearing a clowns hat. Why bother with an HMG? If we're not suppose to kill, give us a weapon that does NO damage to armor

Also, please quote me where I called you a "noob".

Hold up. This is a FPS, first and foremost. First Person Shooter. Everyone sees this and it is recognized as this. Yes it's also an MMO, but people not gonna see gameplay and say "Hey, that's a nice MMO!" It's a shooter.

Dmg mods on a heavy suit... riiiight. The new suit has 1 highslot.

In corp battles I don't care about WP, but in pubs WP = ISK = supporting myself.

lol...telling me about being a teamplayer. You even know WHY I'm a heavy? You even know how many roles I played in the beta? You even know how many corp battles i was in?

I'm a heavy cuz my team needed a heavy. I was the generic assault player running around with his AR. We need a heavy, and here I am. During the beta I tried every role minus vehicles, so I know a thing or two about roles and their purpose.

Who said this was ever about feedback??? Where did I ever say that??? You even read the title of the thread?! Where does it say i'm giving feedback?

Not sure if serious at this point, cuz yeaaah.

I posted in the actual Feedback section on a number of times about real issues with the heavy suits, so have a number of other heavies, and CCP listened. They lowered the price of the proto suit. So please, don't tell me about leaving feedback, I've done that. This thread was NEVER about feedback, hence it's in the General Discussion, so people can discuss...derp.

You can't tell me about being a teamplayer, you don't know me. You have never fought against me, or with me. Before today you probably never even heard of me. So keep your "advice" to yourself

lol you're still here? surprise, surprise.

Your post had no point btw, so unless you tell us your point, you've just made another pointless post. Borderline spam tbh

Some people just don't understand what the role of a heavy is. You are not slayers, you are bullet sponges, tanks, distraction, the ones who supress, the ones who take the damage while the killers do the killing, if my word is not enough, go ahead and pay a visit to the class description. Wait untill you play the build and judge afterwards if you are underpowered or not. And also, thanks for calling me a noob, I love you too. Adapt or die.

is there a chat room for this? i need itt
